I am looking for a slimline atx case that will take a normal sized psu if it exists.
Sick of having a big bulky tower and reuire something a bit smaller and descreet. I ahve seen quite a few now but all seem to have a smaller form power supply.

Can anyone help?
 
I'm replying to this thread, rather than the other one.

What else are you looking to put in the case? Are you wanting to put in GPUs and the such like as well?

Lian-Li PC-A05 might be an idea. It's certainly one of the smaller cases that can fit an ATX board.

Alternatively, if money's no object, the OrigenAE cases, might be worth a look at. Can support PSUs and full size GPUs.

Looking at getting myself a new updated pc but space is restricted. Will be for atx or micro atx depending on case size. Use stock intel cooler and cpu graphics but want standard atx psu.

All these requirements are not set in stone but looking for options. Rather not go for micro tower and would prefer desktop.
 
I'd say go with mATX over ATX case wise, as it doesn't sound like you particularly need an ATX case, and you can save some more space that way - motherboard is ultimately what takes up space. It also saves you having to resort to something like the OriginAE or Silverstone Crown to meet your needs, which are ridiculously priced.

Ok, took me a while. Here are your options:

Looking at it, the Silverstone LaScala and Gradia range look right up your street. Some have full ATX board support + Normal PSU support.

The problem, is that Silverstone/Lian Li are the main makers of these kind of feature packed HTPC cases, and they tend to make some pricey cases...

Thanks for taking the time to post all those links.

A couple of them may be worth a look at as not really looking for towers just desktop style. Only problem is most of the desktops are not much smaller than a tower on it's side.
 
Sorry for not making it clear, i meant a case that can take an atx standard psu not really bothered which size motherboard. :o
